Pea Porridge with Onions
Appetizers • Russian
Description
It is said that pea porridge originated in Poland during the Middle Ages and was a favorite dish of King Sigismund III. The porridge was slowly simmered in the oven and served on the royal table with bacon and other smoked meats. Since then, the cooking technique has hardly changed: peas are soaked overnight, simmered for a long time over low heat, and the cooked porridge is combined with any savory fillings. In this case — with onions.
